Shannan W Leelyn

Atty Shannan Leelyn and legal assistant Lou were simply perfect in our civil case with a contractor. They were proactive in learning about what we needed from them, and they consistently demonstrated extraordinary interpersonal and communication skills. So competent were they—clearly experienced an...d super smart—and so attuned to our values as well that we felt like we could just relax, not an easy thing for me generally. We trusted completely in their advocacy; we knew that they would communicate when it made sense and not when it didn’t, consistent with our wishes. The result was we always knew what was happening, and always in context, but didn’t sweat all the back-and-forth negotiations. We had an excellent outcome in our civil case, really for all parties. But it is the process that that I am most appreciative of. They understood the emotional, logistical, and financial burdens of our situation, and represented us in the best way we could imagine.

To date I've had the pleasure of working with Shannan on four separate and non related issues once for proactive business advise, once to set up an LLC, once for illegal activity by a municipality, and once for contractor workmanship issues. Each time with positive results. I was fortunate enough t...o find Shannan (and Lou) through a mutual aquaintance who is knowledgeable of attorneys in the area. Shannan isn't going to sugar coat things for you; she isn't a therapist she's an attorney, but her candor is what's needed in order to make educated decisions. Do yourself a favor and before having any work done by anyone, have Shannan look over the contract before signing. It's cheap insurance and if your potential contractor doesn't like it than maybe you should look elsewhere. Tell her that JJ sent you.

Attorney Leelyn did a phenomenal job handling a contractor related issue for me. She worked on my case over a year and continually kept my best interests in mind while clearly explaining all potential options as we moved forward through each part of the case. One of her best qualities is always being... able to give the short-term, i.e., settlement, and long-term, i.e., court trial, outcome scenarios, and how much they would cost, as we advanced through the case and circumstances changed. She and her law assistant were meticulous with all the details of my case and knew the details of hundreds of documents as well as I did. They were always available to answer questions, and I would receive a call back from Attorney Leelyn within the next few hours. She even answered emails on days when she was in court for other cases. Working with this team, it often felt like they only case they were working on was mine. Attorney Leelyn was knowledgeable about all aspects of the law related to my case, continually kept my best interests in mind, and was effective during negotiations. I would hire her immediately if I ever need a lawyer again and would recommend her, without any hesitation, to my family and friends.

Word of mouth brought me to Shannan Leelyn to assist with a personal matter, including re-dividing of family land , fair proportioning of such land for a specific purpose, safeguarding my assets and helping me to better understand these actions from a legal standpoint. Her office was a pleasure to ...visit; everyone was simultaneously friendly and professional which made me feel both informed and secure. I rate my experience with her highly and would recommend Leelyn Law with no reservations.
